Keith plays jazz
Just listen to Keith's solo on Let It Grow. Jerry seems to sit out the WRS Prelude and takes a back seat in parts of LIG. It gives Keith a chance to shine and he really pulls it off.

I AM ALWAYS GRATEFUL
I usually don't comment on shows or recordings because for me they are all great and we are blessed to have had Jerry and the boys for so long. Some shows are better than others and some years are tighter than others, I agree. For the person who commented he played guitar as a second profession for 35 years and he couldn't hear traces of Wang Dang Doodle in the riffs Jerry was playing. Right out of the box, you can hear the early makings of Wang Dang Doodle. It's not the whole song or even part of the song but the riffs and licks are there. I have been playing piano and guitar since I'm a child and I have a trained musical ear.....it's there if you know the song and listen closely. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you hear the riffs or not. If the music makes you happy and uplifts you, that's all you can ask of a piece of music. Music is a gift at least that's how I feel. I feel blessed that I saw them in person so many times and that we have the Archive to continue. I have many memories from my travels with the band (1973- present) and they are all 5 star to me. Thanks to everyone who took the time to make this site possible - but mostly thanks to Jerry and the Boys for making 5 star music. You will be in my heart and mind forever.

Thank You: Duckpond74
I didn't read the comments before listening straight through to the end of Casey. I couldn't believe what was going on, and I was glad someone could explain it. F the Police!

very nice
Dynamite China>Rider and some pretty unique 2nd set stuff - the little Jam before WRS is very haunting.
A typically strong Fall '73 show. Maybe not quite as good as 10-27 or 10-29 but worth hearing.

a little history here . . .
What really sucked was that this show was advertised as "The Grateful Dead Performing 3 Sets". Casey Jones was the first song of Set 3. The fight was ugly - several security dudes beating on one guy who was dancing in the aisle right in front of the stage, even Bill K. jumped off the stage to help break things up and security started pounding on Bill, that's what Phil is so upset about. The melee ended soon after. By then, Jerry and Phil were both sitting on the stage floor - everyone seeming quite upset by this sudden change of weird energy and bad vibe. The band had several discussions - you could see that they were at serious odds about whether they should continue with the plan and do a third set. After all, the first two sets were well played, creative and joyful. When they finally tried to play Saturday Night, you could tell their hearts and minds were no longer into continuing this night. Too bad for all of us. Those security punks must have left their 'Minnesota Nice' at the door or when they donned their uniforms.
The 'Wang Dang Doodle' Organ Jam - if memory serves me right - was actually the band and crew trying to get, what we all thought was the House's Wurlitzer, on stage and put through the PA. The crew and Keith dealt with this for a long time between the first and second sets, and finally the rest of the band came on stage - with house lights still up - and started playing this tune. Kind of a mini sound check. They brought the house lights down and continued on. A night full of unusual occurances.
Five stars for this recording. The little jam between The Other One and Weather Report Suite is wonderful, and yes, the Truckin' is a good one. Nice sound, sweet playing . . . too bad about the 'human error' abbreviating the end of this otherwise fine show.

Who cares????
who care if they call it "wang dand doodle" or whatever else. it sounds great.
to my ears, it sounds like a loose instrumental cover version of "w-w-d". anyway, keith shines on the organ on this track. and a few others.
difffernet side of him, we don't usually hear.
Jerry's leads throughout this evening also sound extra inspired. there must've a good mix of the kool=aid that night. but it sucks that casey jones had to end because of a fight in the audience.

Wang Dang Doodle??
I hear a blues jam, not anything to do with Wang Dang Doodle. I've played guitar as a second profession for 35 years and I know the Wang Dang riff and Jerry doesn't even play it once. You might as well call the jam C.C. Rider or Red Rooster. Don't expect to hear Wang Dang Doodle though.
Great recording though!

Dope!
This is dope, and the recording sounds pretty good to me. Bobby and Billy are a little high in the mix, but this really (in my mind) has a positive rather than a negative effect overall.
Truckin' through Let it Grow is an absolute pleasure, with so much else that is great before that particular tour de force.
Listen to Kieth on Let it Grow...he crushes it!

Thank you Charlie!
There are scant/few recordings of this show, so much thanks to Charlie and Rob Eaton for sharing. The sound is pretty good, it gets better after the first few tunes during which the sound engineers were messing with levels it seems. It's not the best board I've heard though.
Noteworthy is Phil going nuts during Casey Jones at the end, literally he gets upset :-/ Check it out...

Lovely sounding board here.
Bobby seems pumped up during Mexicali Blues....
